Gourds with leaves and tendrils form the rebus zisun wandai (May you have ten thousand generations of sons and grandsons).
A bottle of similar coloring carved with qilong, also attributed to the Palace workshops and dated to 1750-1800 is in The Crane Collection, www.thecranecollection.com, no. 167. Another is illustrated by Hugh Moss, Victor Graham and Ka Bo Tsang, A Treasury of Chinese Snuff Bottles. The Mary and George Bloch Collection, Volume 5, Part 3, Hong Kong, 2002, p. 588, no. 956. The bottle, which the authors attribute to the Imperial glassworks, Beijing, is carved with bats around a bi disc. Both this bottle and the present example show unusual interior molding meant to suggest a fabric pouch.
